Salmon Teriyaki
Description
This recipe prepares salmon teriyaki by first creating a teriyaki sauce from soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey, and sesame oil, which is cooked and thickened with cornstarch to achieve a glaze-like thickness. Salmon fillets are seasoned with salt and pepper, then seared skin-side up to develop a golden crust before flipping to finish cooking through.
The thickened sauce is poured over the cooked salmon to coat it evenly, and the addition of sesame seeds and sliced green onions adds texture and a subtle nutty flavor. The balance of sweet, salty, and savory elements characterizes the teriyaki profile, complementing the natural richness of the salmon.
This dish can be enjoyed with steamed rice or vegetables to complement its bold sauce and tender fish texture, making it both flavorful and filling.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon approximately 4 ounces each, fillets
- For the teriyaki sauce:
- salt to taste

Instructions
